DIY Pumkin Earrings

 

These pumpkin earrings are simple, cute, and perfect for fall. They are made from polymer clay. The size is easy to change, so if you want lighter earrings you can just make a smaller version. I think it would be cute to make multiple pumpkins and then connect them in a chain with jump rings. You could also add leaves or flowers on top of the pumkin.

Supplies:

• Polymer clay
• something to cut clay with (a butterknife would work)
• jump rings
• earring wires
• needle nose pliers
• wire or toothpick (to poke hole)

Make two equal size balls of orange clay. Then press them flat.

Push the bottom of the circles flatter. Pinch the to up and flatten the parts next to the higher point.

Shape it into more of a pumkin shape and make the stem longer.

Take a butter knife and start making grooves on the pumpkins. They should be slightly curved. Make sure not to cut all the way through the clay.

Using a piece of wire, I made a hole in the stem of each pumpkin. This will be where we attach the earring.

Bake your clay. Wait for them to cool before attatching the earrings.

These next photos have a different charm in them, but the steps for attatching an earring are the same. Open a jump ring and put it through the hole in the clay. 

Add an earring hook on the jump ring. Then close the jump ring.

On the other pumpkin, make sure the earring faces the opposite way so you can see both pumpkins when you wear them.

And with that, your pumpkin earrings are complete! They are just in time to wear for Halloween, and honestly I will wear them year round. If you liked these earrings, check out my clay mushroom earring instructions. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed.
